    摘要: A motor-vehicle lock, in particular a motor-vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism made up substantially of a rotary latch and a safety catch. Also provided are at least one actuating lever and a release lever which, by means of a coupling element, can be engaged with one another in the at least one coupled position of said coupling element and can be disengaged from one another in the uncoupled position of the coupling element. Additionally provided is an inertia lever for forcing the coupling element into its uncoupled position at least in the event of a crash. According to the invention, depending on the design of the actuating lever, the coupling element can be moved in a controlled manner into a first coupled position and a second coupled position.

    摘要: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a ratchet mechanism, at least one actuation lever for triggering the ratchet mechanism and a ratchet lever that is pivotable about an axis. The ratchet lever renders the ratchet mechanism ineffective, at least with regard to the magnitude and direction of occurring retarding forces, for example in the event of an accident (“in the event of a crash”). According to the invention the ratchet lever is mounted eccentrically on the axis thereof and thereby produces in dependence of the occurring retarding forces a counter-torque that blocks the actuation lever.

    摘要: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism, an electric drive, a locking unit and a coupling lever, said coupling lever acting on the locking unit. The coupling lever can be actuated by the electric drive counter to the force of the spring. The locking unit has a control contour, the coupling lever cooperating with said control contour.

    摘要: The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. A triggering element is additionally provided in order to lift the pawl and thereby open the locking mechanism. The motor vehicle door lock finally comprises an accumulator element which is impinged upon by a spring and which holds the pawl in the lifted position until the rotary latch is opened. According to the invention, the spring and the accumulator element form one component. Furthermore, the spring and the accumulator element are designed as a spring lip which impinges upon the trigger element.

    摘要: The invention relates to fastening elements for connecting transmission means such as tie rods, Bowden cables or the like to lever elements, in particular for motor vehicle locks, and to connecting arrangements equipped with such fastening elements. In order to allow reliable mounting and a structurally simple manufacture of the fastening elements, the fastening element is provided with a bayonet contour in such a manner that the fastening element, when mounted, is hinged to the lever element so as to be swiveled about a swivel axis. Owing to the swivelability and secure fastening to the lever element, the fastening element is particularly suitable for use in an actuation-force transmission chain between a motor vehicle lock and an actuating element for actuating said motor vehicle lock.

    摘要: A closure device comprises a locking mechanism, which has a rotary latch and a pawl, and an electrical drive for opening the locking mechanism. The closure device has an actuating apparatus for actuating the electrical drive, such that the locking mechanism can be opened exclusively electrically. Thus, there is no mechanical system for enabling the locking mechanism to be opened exclusively in a mechanical manner. In the non-actuated state, the electrical drive is completely disconnected from the current-carrying electrical conductors. Thus, there is then no voltage on the drive, which must be used to open the locking mechanism. The actuating apparatus includes one or more electrical contacts that are closed to contact the electrical drive to a current source and put the electrical drive into operation such that an associated door or flap can be opened.
